Pato no Tucupi

tucupi

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

Vegetable broth provides a similar base flavor while being more accessible.

jambu

🥗Healthier: arugula

💰Cheaper: spinach

Spinach can mimic the texture while being more common.

dried shrimp

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Tofu offers a protein alternative without the seafood flavor.

duck

🥗Healthier: chicken

Chicken is a leaner and more affordable poultry option.

Bring the whole duck to a pot and let it boil for a bit with olive oil.

Once the duck is browned on all sides, add all the seasonings and let it cook.

Transfer to the oven and let it cook for about 20 minutes.
